BETHLEHEM (AP) — Authorities say a maid found 1,400 packets of heroin in a hotel room in eastern Pennsylvania and two men are arrested.

The Morning Call of Allentown reports it happened at the Comfort Inn in Bethlehem Township on Thursday afternoon. The maid found the bag containing 1,400 packets of heroin and turned the items over to her manager.

Police say the owner of the items went to the front desk and told the manager the items had been stolen. Hotel officials had already called police.

Bethlehem Township police arrested two men, but were still looking for a third who fled before officers arrived.
